If it was the filler tube or a gas leak the car would tell you it detected a vapor recovery leak. Cabin air pulls from the same space you access the top of the fuel tank and the filler tubes pass through there.

The sending unit is the first thing you remove under the battery held in by the threaded cap. It has a float that moves with the gas level.

Fun fact! At 1/2 tank the top of the fuel pump is starting to show.
